The revelation of Nea’s ancestors being the one Zetan princess saved by the mercy of her lil’ star crossed human lover is just the sweetest goddamn thing haha. And I love how it makes Nea’s own xenophobic views on Zetan racial purity and supremacy all the more laughable because she’s the literal love child of different races coming together.
Author's Response:
Yeah at the beginning she's pretty insecure and bitter over the whole thing, most Zetans have yellow eyes, hers are blue.

I wanted to pos the thought a while ago, but with the fact that the shrinking tech exists, I would be surprised if the Zetans didn’t have some project of magic ship grade shrink rays. For either other ships to the point of using them as dildos, or even making cities handheld.
But with how hearing that a larg amount simply died all of a sudden, and that relations with humans needed improving and that whole situation, and all the rebuilding snd bigger enemy, it probably was not restarting even if if the scientists and engineers didn’t died, and if a prototype exists it probably in some storage somewhere. Thought tank level ones might be easier, and those might make a town crushable with one foot. But also are either in storage, or/snd the changes meant they needed to be restricted.
Other one is just what industrial shrink rays can do compared to the handheld ones, since those would be actually large, and probably stationary and complex, equipment.
Plus whats the history with shrink way, (could be something we learn a little as the story goes on, passive world building) who and why were they invented, did their neighbouring alien civ have shrink ray tech too? And do the Cephalos have it? Will we learn it latter and why they don’t seem to make ad much use, or why the shrink rays wren’t used in them? Just interesting questions.
Since everyone has been asking about Zetan culture and a bit of history, like their 50-1 female-to-male ratio, lesbianism must be expected, for most if not nearly/all of their history.
Still, story is doing good 👍.

The Zetans do have bigger shrink rays that would require ship or vehicle mounting, so yeah if they were so inclined they could probably reduce a skyscraper to dildo sized, and who's to say it didn't happen once or twice during the invasion? Probably the kind of thing the Cultural Office says didn't happen lol. Shrinking bigger things to smaller size requires more power, for example Kira's handheld model can reduce Adam to three inches, but anything much bigger than him it just wouldn't work on, Nea's rifle was powerful enough to shrink a car, Joey, and Kurt all in one shot.
Shrink rays can't penetrate shields, which are on almost all power armor and fighting vehicles in advanced species. They were free to kind of go wild with the shrink tech as a weapon when humans were more primitive, now they'd have a harder time of it, as Nea found out when she attempted to shrink the power armored police in the parade. As for the technology itself only Zetans had it, which was something they were extremely proud of. As part of the alliance humans might have the knowledge to build them they don't have the industry to do so on a wide scale like the Zetans do, so humans probably get any shrink weapons they want (which isn't a lot) from Zetans rather than making any on Earth.
Also yeah the Zetans don't really blink or think twice about lesbianism, glad you're liking it so far!

With all these other relationships here for contrast it kind of makes me wonder about the type of relationship our protagonists will have by the end. Kurt seems like a simple guy so I'm assuming he is just gonna want an equal relationship with Nea once they further/completely reconcile for what she did to him, but what about Joey? It seems to me like him and Telma are growing exceedingly close, so I wonder if he'll be able to put away his playboy ways for her once this is all over.
Author's Response: Joey is definitely infatuated, Telma's something he hasn't seen before, something he can't get on Earth.

Nice chapter
I like these Adam/Kira and Smith/Tayla side stories. Any chance there could be a threesome with Smith, Tayla and Liana?
Author's Response: From a narrative standpoint the side stories let us look at the rest of the universe and how it's reacting to our protags, from a smut standpoint it's more dynamics to play with, Kira and Adam's fairly playful and equal one, Jolene's weird S&M one, and Tayla and Smith's... whatever you want to call it. As for a threeway between the princess and her two bodyguards yeah that's almost certainly going to happen between now and then end of the story lol.
